I have a LG Optimus L90 D415 and today I received an update. But since I'm already rooted I don't want to install this update. I have looked around and tried suggestions that worked on other LG phones but I can't seem to get this update notification to leave my notification bar at all. It only pop up when I turn on my wifi and it's getting annoying. Also I don't want it to install while I'm sleep or anything so I kind of need help getting rid of it ASAP!
I have the same question.
On my ZTE Awe, you can stop the updates by changing the build.prop to mimic the version of the update. If someone with the update would post a build.prop, it wouldn't take long for us to try that method.
Same here. What's this update for anyway... lollipop?
I don't want to lose root from it and don't know if towelroot will work after it is updated...
Any updates?

Open your phone’s dialer and go to LG hidden system settings.
You can do this by dialing the following code: 3845#*415#
Having entered the system menu, scroll to WLAN Test.
Select OTA Setting option and turn it off by tapping the Disable button..

i have found that unticking the show notifications check box on google play services hides it when the OTA disable doesnt work like it did for me.
Please I need help.. my infinix hot 2 automatically starts downloading huge updates in the background without me even knowing. It doesn't give any notification and even downloads on mobile network. can't find anywhere to disable that thing. Is there to stop the updates from downloading automatically? Please help...
And am not really sure if this the right place to post this but if anyone can help, will appreciate it... My Gmail push notification doesn't work since 5.1.1 and even with the update to 6.0, nothing has changed. I even did I factory reset after updating to 6.0 but it hasn't solved the problem. Can someone please help?
If the background downloads you are talking about ate those of google playstore then you can disable it in the playstore setting but if it is the system update you can't disable, as far as notifications are concerned even mine doesn't work and my calendar doesn't notify me so you know that this Android version is a raw one different from other android versions so be patient they will update everything soon.
U can stop d automatic download of D any update on hot 2....
To do so, your phone must be rooted... Download disable service app... Install and located Google play service... Click on it and untick system update... After untickn, D system update text color will change to red.... That it....
No update will pop up and and no background AUTOMATIC download of OTA UPDATE WILL OCCUR ON YOUR PHONE....
IT CAN BE REVERSE AS WELL...to get OTA UPDATE @ anytime u will just av 2 tick D system update back... Goodluck...
It is not wise or advisable to root your hot 2 as your phone will be receiving updates from now and then from google you will be missing on almost everything.
Hey guys. I found a new firmware that is approved for my device (not ROOTED) . It doesn't show up in my system update when I checked. So I tried the built in methods in the firmware finder app and it didn't show the latest update in the System Update app.
Previously, I have used the Proxy and DNS methods to install updates via firmware finder app, but now it seems those methods don't work as well. Are there any other ways to get the update?
The proxy method from the app still works fine for me. Just did an update two days ago to the August Google security patch. Just make sure that when using the proxy method that:
a. change your wifi connection to "local host" , port "8080"
b. go to system update in settings and begin the update
c. when the update is at 5-10% pause the update
d. go back to wifi settings and return your settings to normal by removing "local host" and "8080"
e. return back to system update and continue the update.

Hey everyone.
Problem with Galaxy 10 (Sprint) downloading OTA updates. (Greyed out / disabled).
Stock phone, not rooted.
I have two of these phones, one update is OK but the other is disabled. Not sure what I did or what happened but need help if possible.
Settings, Updates, option to check/download updates, and option to use wifi are both greyed out and disabled... I have tried updating prl, profile, and hard reset... Tried update on/off option in developer options. Nothing. Two days searching with no info I can find on the web.
Any ideas ?
Thanks!
[Resolved - Edited] - Factory reset, Power+Bixby+VolUp boot, clear cache, factory reset.

In settings under general management have you tried "reset network settings" ? Have you tried clearing the cache partition? How about booting in safe mode to see if the options become available.
MrMOOn, no I did not try Odin...
Tel864, yes I tried all that except safe mode. Safe mode was a disaster on my other phone so I stay far away. ... I also chatted with Samsung and Sprint (pointless).
I ended up just factory resetting the phone.
It works now.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Has anyone had problems with your phone's hotspot after updating to Android 13 on ZenFone 8?
I also did a factory reset, but it didn't help.
The signal is very weak and even if you connect another device, this then can not navigate because it is internet not available.
Back to Android 12 the problem disappears.
Did you have the same problem and how did you solve it? Thank you.

I just updated to Android 13 on my Zenfone 8 today, and the hotspot settings just disappeared (at least if I navigate through the settings). If i search all settings, I can find them, but trying to turn it on does nothing.
I wonder if this is an Asus problem or an AT&T (my carrier) problem.

I did all the tests, even the hard reset, nothing to do. I also tried to change mobile operator sim. It's just a bug in Android 13.
I asked Asus support, but they didn't give any answer.
Downgraded to Android 12 and that's the only way it works.

Two questions...
1. How did you try to get help from Android support? I was thinking of trying their phone support.
2. How did you downgrade? Is there a way to do with without wiping my phone and without rooting? I found a few guides about it online and they all seemed to require wiping the phone.

Oh, and also it's now taking about 7 minutes to register on the at&t network (as opposed to instantly in Android 12). How could they possibly have let this release into the wild?

Write to Asus support, you can find it on the official page. If you have registered your product, put all the data related to model and serial, only then they will move to find a solution to this bug.
For downgrade, you will always find in the support page for your model the firmware to download. Once downloaded, enter it in the internal folder of the phone and you will see that the update notification appears above.
Click and install. Obviously you lose all the data, because it resets to the factory state.

Thanks for the info. It wasn't obvious to me about the phone resetting - for all i knew, Asus might have an intelligent downgrade process that preserved the user data. Too bad they don't.

I also had this issue of the hotspot function disappearing after the Android 13 update. I followed the step to downgrade to 12. This worked, but before I could finish setting up my phone again, it was already automatically updating to 13. I reinstalled 12, and waited to connect to wi-fi to get things restored. Shortly after connecting to wi-fi again, the 13 update started again. I paused the update and then enabled developer options and disabled automatic system updates there, but I am not able to disable auto-updates in the regular system update settings. Is root required to disable this menu option? I have not rooted my phone and would prefer not to, if possible. Any suggestions?
Edit: So far, the phone hasn't resumed the auto-update overnight or following a couple restarts of the phone. The notification remains and I occasionally get prompts to continue the paused update, but I am able to ignore them. I guess I can live with it as is, but if anybody has any other ideas, please share. Thanks.
Edit: Today, I woke to find that the 13 update has downloaded and will install on reboot. I rebooted and let it complete the update to 13. Then, I downgraded to 12 once again. This time around, the option to disallow automatic updates was not greyed-out in system update settings. I disallowed auto-updates. The notification saying the update to 13 is available remained, this time, I was able to dismiss it. I don't know what to think about the previous issues I had, but it seems to have resolved it now.

I didn't see the Andorid 13 update even before the downgrade, I searched for it and installed it if I wanted it.
Adding to my posts above from February 18:
I was able to remain on Android 12, retaining the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, until this morning. I awoke to find a software update notification message, giving two options: update or later. The message also stated that if I pressed later, it would continue with the update in 30 minutes. I rebooted the phone, and the update notification returned, however, lacking the 30 minute warning. A short while later, the phone began to automatically download the update, despite the option in settings disallowing auto-updates being ticked. I force-stopped the system update app, and it stopped downloading the new update. After a short while, it completed the android 13 system update download anyway. I decided to give the 13 update a try again, seeing that there was a smaller update added to the Asus Bios and Firmware download page on March 16th. I proactively backed up my data, knowing that I would likely need to downgrade to 12 again shortly to regain hotspot functionality. I rebooted to apply the base 13 update; no hotspot functionality, as expected. I then downloaded and applied the March 16th (WW-33.0210.0210.269) update OTA; still no hotspot functionality. I plan to downgrade again to Android 12, but I question how long I will be able to use it before another automatic update to 13 is forced upon me by Asus. Does anyone have any advice as to how to activate the hotspot on 13 or a way to guarantee that 12 will not be auto-updated to 13?
Edit: For anyone who might be having the same issue, here is what I have tried and so far, seems to be working. After downgrading to 12, I did not connect to internet during the initial phone setup process. When I did, the phone would already start automatically downloading the 13 update even before the setup process was finished. After setup, I immediately disabled automatic updates both in the regular system settings and in developer options (after enabling these, of course). I find it interesting that before, even with these two settings to disallow automatic updates in use, the automatic update would begin. The only other step I took this time was to disable my system app for system updates per the following method. https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
I understand that this method is likely used more for added bloatware than for system apps, and I questioned at first if it would even work for a system app. Still, after disabling the system update app, it shows "disabled" under its entry in the complete app list in settings, and the system update options in the settings menu are not visible anymore. The main "system" header in the settings menu does show a red dot with "1" indicating that there is something available within the submenu, but as stated there is nothing within pertaining to system updates since disabling the system update app. So far, there have been no other notifications for the 13 update as before. This system update app is easy to reenable, as shown in the link above, so if I want to download the system update later on, it is no problem. I will add to this post if this method fails, but so far, so good.
